Understanding Ileal Transposition:
Ileal Transposition (IT), conducted
at Big Apollo Spectra Hospital, Patna, is a surgical procedure that aids weight
and fat reduction while enhancing glucose metabolism. Particularly beneficial
for type 2 diabetes patients, IT improves lipid metabolism and insulin
sensitivity. It's recommended for those aiming to lower blood sugar or manage
organ damage. It's not suitable for individuals with a low body mass index.
Procedure Insights:
Ileal Transposition, proven effective
for type 2 diabetes and weight reduction, involves positioning the ileum
(distal small intestine portion) between the stomach or proximal small
intestine. This can also be done without connecting to the stomach. Typically
performed through sleeve gastrectomy, the surgery takes about 4 to 5 hours
under general anaesthesia. A small incision (5mm to 12mm) is made on the
abdomen.
During the surgery, the distal small
intestine (ileum) is brought close to the stomach. A segment of the ileum is
dissected and interposed into the jejunum (second part of the small intestine).
This arrangement aids in connecting the proximal ileum to the large intestine,
without removing any part of it.
